Iapyges
The Iapyges (Greek: Ἰάπυγες) or Iapygians were an Indo-European people who inhabited the heel of Italy (modern Apulia) before being absorbed by the Romans.
Identity
The Iapyges have unknown origins but could have been an Illyrian tribe.
They spoke the Messapian language since the Messapians themselves were the southernmost tribe of the Iapyges. Their other tribes included the Dauni and the Peucetii.
The name Iapyges is derived from Greek authors, who linked the tribe's origin to Daedalus's son Iapyx. They were called Apuli, Salentini (or Sallentini) and Calabri by Roman authors. Iapygians were akin to the Oenotrians, an ancient Italic people who lived in the territory of Basilicata and Northern Calabria.
The genetive forms, -aihi- and -ihi- corresponding to the Sanskrit -asya- and the Greek -oio- , appear to indicate that the dialect belongs to the Indo-Germanic family. Other indications, such as the use of the aspirated consonants and the avoiding of the letters m and t as terminal sounds, show that this Iapygian dialect was essentially different from Italian and corresponds in some respects to the Greek dialects.

Io Io
by: Bee GeesI saw you tonight
In the room where love had started once beforeAnd we opened up the skies
With your loving eyesYou take me back where you belong in my heart
One love frozen in time
Never be a bad love
Yours and mine
But I still remainI will never change
I will always love you
I will always take your part
And all the years of losing youAnd then being close to you againThe very chance that I could take your heart
Your hand in mine
You are inside of me
One more time
Don't you remember me
And the days that lie ahead
May all go wrong
But tonight my loveThere's no question in my mind where we should be
It's clear that you're alone and I'm alone
And all the fools have goneYou open up so tears can fall from your eyes
True love can never die
We can make it one day - if we tryBe there - sunshine or rainI will never change
I will always love youI will always take your part
And all the years of losing you and thenMaking love to you againThe very chance that I could take your heart
Your hand in mine
I got a memory
For all time
Don't you remember me
Now my dream will come trueIf you love me
I will always love you
I will always take your part
And all the years of losing you and thenMaking love to you againThe very chance that I could take your heart
Your hand in mine
